4.27 New Literacy Narratives talk and presentations on proposals

Thanks for dropping by the Book talk on New Litearcy Narratives from and Urban University, and thanks to Angela, Ryan and Molly for sticking around to provide some comments on their experience writing their chapters.  And thanks to Angela and Ryan for the feedback on research proposals.

Where we are going for the rest of the term:
Before we started on the proposal presentations, we took a look at the schedule for the last two weeks (can you believe it - it's only two more weeks?) and we noted that net week would be to remaining presentations on the proposals + the presentation  and review for the final exam.  We will take stock and decide whether the exam is in class or take home next week.  The last week of class will be devoted to writing the in-class exam, or to some other activity to be decided next week, which may involve ice cream.

Feedback on the final proposal + IRB materials: 
You turned in all the IRB materials this week, and I will have written for you before next class.  I will return your draft proposals to you with comments as they are turned in (hopefully in advance of next week, and keep in mind that on Saturday or Sunday I will be participating in the Great Migration for birds so I will not be reading proposals at that time).

So far so good!

For next week:
Maria, Melissa, and Christina will present on their proposals, and we will review for the exam.

Make sure you have sent me a copy of the proposal for comments so I can get it back to you in time for you to make revisions.

I will return the IRB materials with comments before next class.

Good work in this class and see you next week.
